Still Ticking or: The Tenth Second Birthday
Still Ticking or: The Tenth Second Birthday
Salutations™!!
First, Dear Reader, a few housekeeping items. One, this is a picture of me TEN years ago (tomorrow) and I am not in the hospital and I’m not going through this right now. Two, I know I’ve been away, but as I mentioned in the Useless Podcast (you did listen to that episode, right?), I’ve been extra busy and not been able to experience a lot of things to really talk about that would…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 2/19 and 2/26
Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 2/19 and 2/26
Salutations™!!
I missed last week. I just haven’t felt the writing. Sorry about that. I recorded a podcast for Useless Things last week and haven’t posted it, yet. I hope to break the funk. But, I’m going to highlight our haul from last week and yesterday.

I was stuck in class all day yesterday, so The BCPF and I got to Underdog Records late. That’s really all we got to do outside having dinner with friends. So, let’s just jump in…
Damn Yankees – Damn Yankees — This is really the only way I can tolerate Ted Nugent. Mainly, that’s because of Tommy Shaw and Jack Blades. I paid a good deal for this. It is in EX condition and…

It was a busy Saturday for The BCPF and me. Not busy in work, but just a lot going on. But, all of it was fun. Mainly because we did it all together. But, one of the “things” was going to Underdog Records! Here’s the haul!

Sea Wolf – Through A Dark Wood — It’s a band led by Alex Brown Church. I don’t know what that means outside of it’s on Wikipedia. The BCPF…

Today is the 40th anniversary of Huey Lewis and the News’ Picture This album. It was their breakout album, with three hits. This is probably the least well-known of the three but it’s a good one, nonetheless. Enjoy!
And, I apologize for not doing a Useless Things Podcast this week.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out!

Yesterday was a routine Saturday for The BCPF and me. Breakfast, wine, records. That was it. Here’s the haul:

Pink Floyd – A Momentary Lapse Of Reason (Remixed & Updated) — 2×LP, 45 RPM. Gatefold sleeve + 24-page booklet. Remixed in 2019 from the original master tapes on Heavyweight 180g pressing. I had this on Cassette and can’t remember if I have it on CD or not. I think…

Yesterday we lost two great entertainers. One was a vocal beast and the other was a funny but gentle giant. Louie Anderson was hilarious and just self-deprecating enough to make himself more loveable. You wanted to love Louie. His delivery was amazing. Rest in peace, Louie.
Meat Loaf was operatic, powerful, a larger-than-life presence that turned Jim Steinman’s tongue-in-cheek…

Are you enjoying the Snowmageddon that is happening outside right now? Or at least if you’re in the Southeast… I hate it, as you’d hear if you listened to the last two Useless Things Podcasts (which you can do here). We had breakfast, picked up the remaining tile we had for the bathroom redo, and went to Underdog Records. Here’s what we got:
Elvis Costello & The…

Today is the 32nd anniversary of the release of the Sunday’s Reading, Writing and Arithmetic album. It’s one of The BCPF’s favorite bands and she loves this album and this song. This young lady does a fantastic version. Enjoy!
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out!

You can hear my accounts of those subjects here.

The holiday break was over! The BCPF and I went to breakfast, got our hair cut and went to Underdog Records. It was so good being back in the “candy store.” Our haul was slim but I feel we got good stuff. Here’s the haul:
Whitesnake – Slip Of The Tongue — 2×LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Reissue, Remastered. Gatefold sleeve. 30th Anniversary Remaster MMXIX. I believe by this…

Today would have been Elvis’ 87th and David Bowie’s 75th birthdays. It IS my dad’s 74th birthday. I never really connected to Elvis’s music. It was slightly before my time. I do, however, LOVE me some Bowie although it took me a while to realize that. There are some slow spots in my Bowie relationship. But, for the most part, it’s all great stuff. Here’s a great cover of a great…

You’ll notice that last Sunday I didn’t do a “Sunday” post. Or maybe you didn’t? I had nothing to say, didn’t go to Underdog Records (they were closed), and I was just recovering from the food and frolic that we had for Xmas Weekend. This is really the same but for New Year’s Day. The BCPF made a modified New Year’s meal. Back bacon from the Scottish Gourmet for our “ham,” pinto…

I hope everyone was safe last night. It’s finally 2022 and we can hope that this year is an amazing one for everyone. Here’s a great song from the Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle album. Let’s hope this is the truth.

On this week’s Useless Things podcast, I talked about Christmas songs and how Xmas is a proper substitute for Christmas and in some ways even more appropriate. But, I especially talked about this song and the Mariah Carey song. Hear more by listening to that episode, but here is one of my favorite groups doing one of my favorite Xmas songs. Enjoy!
Until tomorrow, Merry…

I have been so far off in la-la land this week (because I’m on “vacation”) that after I recorded a new podcast on Monday, I forgot to post about it here, where more people can see and hear it. Tsk tsk…
So this episode is all about Christmas stuff… music, movies, food, “Xmas,” etc. And, I hear from Superfan Damien (from The Less Desirables), which is awesome, for the first…
